RE: Blade CP belt drive

That's really cool. The only problem I have is that it seems like I'd be pretty much replacing everything in the CP, I may almost be better off just getting a new helicopter. On that point, you've got a real solid setup there, put it together with all your custom parts and sell it as a kit maybe! When do you plan on releasing it? I'll be sure to keep an eye on it.

RE: Blade CP belt drive

I'd like to see the video of it flying... in a format other than Real-Player. There's got to be one floating around on the net somewhere. Steve, in your opinion, Does this thing fly MUCH better than the BCP? I've been following all the feedback on the forums.... I want a micro that flys like a mini (read: more solid flight characteristics). I'd like to really be able to fly it in my backyard; not have to drive to a park to really wring it out.

RE: Blade CP belt drive

I think it's going to cost more than 90 bucks to upgrade the cp with that anyways. I can't imagine getting that upgrade without a brushless setup, and if you go that far you may as well get your own receiver in there, then you need a new gyro, and new servos would probably help too. After your done with that, you're a little over 90 bucks I'd say, not to mention the only stock part left on it would be the head assembly, which they sell a CNC version of. That's all I'm saying. Ohh, I think I can convert that video for you, or you could just download virtualdub and do it yourself. From what I saw in the video it made it rock steady in the air. It seemed to fly more like you'd expect a TRex to.

RE: Blade CP belt drive

how about the blade cp pro thats just coming out... im pretty sure it's just about the same frame, but upgraded to bell-hiller head and symmetrical blades, 370 main motor etc...
would it be compatible, do you guys know?

if so, i'd be very interested, would seem alittle easier platform to work off of than the "old" cp... just a thought

RE: Blade CP belt drive

I ordered the belt drive, thinking about a brushless motor, do I have to replace the 4in1 or can you tell me how it will control the 4th servo that controls the tail rotor?? if i have to replace what would be a good gyro,,. I have a JR 6102 if i have to go separate, i think it will work.. thanks

RE: Blade CP belt drive

Steve, a couple of quick questions, what is your set-up? I see you are running a Gyro. Are you also using a brushless set-up? Is this the Pro or a totally revamped CP. It looks great flying, far above the stock Blade. What $ would it take to get mine to fly like yours?

RE: Blade CP belt drive

So, how much would it cost to upgrade a Blade CP pro to a belt drive and CNC head? What about the extra servo?
I am new to this, but I am learning. I am having to replace parts and don't know if I should be replacing them with better parts than just stock ones....

You don't have to replace the 4-in-1, you can go either with a powerzone or you can go with new gyro and new bruhless esc and still able to use the 4-in-1 and stock tx.
